JavaScript 2: AJAX
AJAX Training for the Intermediate or Advanced Student
In this course, students learn advanced JavaScript and AJAX and how to use them to suit their professional and creative goals. Students will learn how use the HTTP request object to communicate with both XML documents and Perl scripts. They will learn the importance of validating forms before storing data, and how to search for data using both full and partial search strings. In addition, students will learn about APIs by working with the Google Maps API, and how to use cookies to store and recall information.
Upon completion of the course, students will earn 4 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) and a CEU letter from the University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education. This course counts toward the Client Side Web Programming Certificate series.
From beginning to end, participants will learn by doing their own JavaScript-based using AJAX, and then handing them in for instructor feedback. These projects will result in an impressive final application which will add to the student's portfolio and will contribute to certificate completion. Besides a browser and internet connection, all software is provided online by the O'Reilly School of Technology.
